Dedication

At the start of the 1 982-83
school year, Mrs. Helen G.

Droney took on the vital role of
advisor to the Student
Government, class officers, and
senior class. As advisor to the
student government, Mrs.

Droney was a crucial factor in
the success of such projects as
the blood drives, Spirit Week,
and Carnation Days. Her support
and dedication to the
government were unlimited and
invaluable.

But we, the senior class of 1 983
owe a special debt of gratitude
to Mrs. Droney. To us, she was
far more than a leader and
organizer. Helen Droney was a
friend and inspiration to all of us.

Her door was always open, and a
friendly smile greeted every
visitor. Her patience and good
nature inspired our confidence
and appreciation. Mrs. Droney
reflected the ideals of the senior
class, as we reflected her
exuberance and ambition. Her
wit and charm brightened many
a dreary day.

It is for these qualities in Mrs.
Droney that we wish to dedicate
the 1 983 Spindle to her. We can
feel nothing but love and respect
for the woman who has given so
much of herself to us. A part of
her will leave Lowell High School
with each and every member of
the class of 1983. We will never
forget her.

Buzzzzzll 5:30 already . . . Where’s the snooze
button? . . .

“A Day in the Life”

Each and every day of our high
school lives has been full of
problems and decisions,
decisions which have affected
the outcome of each day, and of
our high school years as a
whole. We will follow “a day in
the life” of two LHS students,
both of whom will make very
different decisions, with different

outcomes.

6:00

Buzzzzzll What a day this is going to be ... I’d better
hop in the shower, then maybe I’ll eat breakfast
outside. The sun’s out . . . today’s off to a great start!

m •- . V: . '

7:00

Oh sh . . . oot! I feel like I’ve been fifteen rounds
with Ali. How do they expect me to do schoolwork
when 1 can’t even get out of bed? I’ll never make the
ten past bus now . . . that’s alright. I’ll just take my
time and go in late. I’ll take a long shower and a
long shh . . . oot, it’s already five past. That won’t
work. It’ll be my third time this week . . . Aarghl 1
can barely move . . . what the heck, some fast
talking and I’ll be second period bound.

7:00

I’m ready with time to spare! I guess I’ll review my physics
and look over stuff for my third period test. 1 think I’m ready
for it, but I sure could use an A. Here’s my bus, on time as
usual. Good thing 1 went to bed early last night; 1 would have
never made it otherwise.

HOMEROOM OR LATE

SLIP?

8:30

I should do this more
often, I tell ya. I’m just
too smart for ’em. One
short story about th’old
furnace and I’m home
free. I guess I should go
to my locker . . . that can
wait ... I think I’ll have a
butt outside. Maybe
someone will be playin’
hacky-sack. I could use a
good game to get me
movin’ this mornin’.

“Hey, whatsup? Toss that
thing over here . . . does
anybody know where I can
get some ... ?”

8:30

I’m psyched! Next period I can play some hoop in gym.
That’ll be a good way to get my blood movin’ so I’m ready
for my test. I can always think better after playing some
basketball or running a mile or two.

9:30

So I’m a few minutes late
. . . What’s the big deal?
My teacher’s a pushover
anyway . . . sh . . . t! I
forgot we have a test
today. One quick crib
oughtta do it. Oh-oh!
She’s lookin’ over here
. . . (whispers) . . . “Hey
. . . you . . . move a little
to the right ... I said
move a little to the right
...” Terrific — now she’s
cornin’ this way . . . I’m
dead meat now . . .
maybe if I pour on the
charm? . . .

LUNCH

HOMEROOM

9:30

Here she comes, but I’m ready this time. Go ahead, give me
your hardest test. ’Cause I’m going to get an A on this test if it
kills me . . . which I’m sure it will. OK, let’s see . . . Ek = 1/2

MV 2 , P = MV . . .

10:15

Who want’s to go to Mossie’s
with me for a sub? . . . Hey, is
it alright if I borrow a couple
of bucks? Huh?

10:15

Chalk up an A for me!
That studying really paid
off. Now the rest of the
day is a breeze. I’m glad I
made two turkey
sandwiches last night, that
test made me plenty
hungry. In homeroom 1
can probably start some
homework and I’ll be in
bed early again tonight if 1
get enough done.

THE DAY
COMES
TO AN
END

11:00

Bagged!!

“I told ya we shouldn’t have
come this way. Larry and Gary
are always over here fourth
period.” If they’d only listen to
me we’d never get caught . . .
No need to worry . . . another
tail-tale and I get off scott

free.

SCHOOL’S
OCJT! . . .
OR IS IT?

12:45

One more period and I leave
for practice outside today. It’s
the first outdoor practice of the
year, and if the weather holds
up it won’t be the last.

12:45

Forget this. I’m in no mooc
for jumpin’ jacks. I’ve beer
nabbed and have detentior
already, skipping gym won’1
make a difference ... It can’1
get much worse than this
Like I said before. I’m toe
smart for them. That’s why
ended up with just six nights
instead of in-house

THE DAY ISN’T
OVER . . .

5:30

Practices like that really
make the season
worthwhile. 1 guess today
was a pretty good day,
hopefully tomorrow will go
as well, and the next day,
and ... 1 better start my
homework as soon as 1
get home.

2:30

That’s one night of detention
out of the way. I’m sure that
after at least 3 nights they’ll
be easy on me and let me off.
I can’t wait ’til tomorrow —
we’re goin’ to the beach for 6
or 7 periods, but I’ll be back
in time for detention . . .
maybe.

The Working Class

A large majority of high school
students work part-time jobs
during the school year. It’s no
different here at LHS. To varying
degrees, and for a variety of
reasons, almost all of us do, or
have held down a job. Many
work to finance a college
education, others to help out at
home. But almost all part-time
workers use a chunk of
Thursday’s check as spending
money. High Schoolers need
cash on hand for clothes, BK
runs, concerts, and of course,
the infamous 3 buck minimum
each weekend night. Still other
workers save to buy a car or

stereo.

Mike Carney at Rosenblum’s Party Store.

Although part-time jobs do
provide them with money, as
well as new friends,
responsibilities and confidence,
“The Working Class” must
make several sacrifices in
order to successfully work a
job into their schedules. A job
does indeed take its toll on a
student’s social life and
schoolwork, and in some
cases denies a student
participation in sports and

much needed sleep.

Yet, high school students
continue to work, and continue
to spend. Is it worth it? That
depends upon the individual.
Some students are able to
make it work, while others
remain “parentally funded”
throughout high school. But
either way, we salute the
“Working Class” at LHS.

What Type Are You?

At Lowell High School, there
are four basic subcultures:
Preps, Jocks, Disco Fans,
and the Lucy Larcom
Crowd. Each of these
groups has its own uniform,
vocabulary, and approach to
life and leisure.

Are you one of these
stereotypes, or are you a
nonconformist? There’s a
quick quiz on the next page
to help you determine to
which group you belong.

1 ) Do you have a whale or
alligator on any article of
clothing?

2) Do you have an AC/DC
T-shirt?

3) Do you wear work boots
untied?

4) Do you own a mini skirt?

5) Do you play hacky sack?

6) Do you wear overalls?

7) Do you always carry your
net gym bag?

8) Do you ski or go to
concerts?

9) Do you sit on the bridge
or hang around the locker
area on the 5th floor?

10) Do you know where the
library is, or only the
Worcester Centrum?

1 1 ) When you talk to your
friends, do you discuss your
car, clothes, the coach’s
weight program, or where
you sent your applications?

The population of Lowell High
School represents a large cross
section of race, nationality and
culture. This population includes
a number of students from
foreign countries. They find the
people friendly, but are often
hindered by the language barrier,
and sometimes not easily
accepted by native students.
Math, the universal language,
appears to be their favorite
subject.

Interesting comments made by
several students involved the
culture at LHS. They find the
boys and girls kiss a lot more in
public here. They also have
trouble adjusting to the
widespread profanity and to

American food. The girls were, at
first, embarrassed to wear slacks
in school and shorts to gym.
They also find Lowell High far
less disciplined than their
schools, where detention was not

necessary.

Many students had to leave
family and friends to come to
the United States. Most came for
a better life and education.
Several of the graduating foreign
students will attend Middlesex
Community College in the fall,
while some will return home,
and still others will get married
in order to remain in this
country. It has been an extremely
difficult experience for these
students and we must all respect
them for their efforts to
overcome hardship, and
congratulate them on their
success.

Clement G. McDonough

After more than 40 years and 20
terms as a member of the
Lowell School Committee,
Clement Gregory McDonough
died in office last November. As
a friend and proponent of public
school education he is
remembered in profound respect
and affection for his countless
contributions toward the
educational welfare of children,
teachers and support staff in the
Lowell School System.

He either sponsored or
supported every aspect of public
school education in the City of
Lowell whether it be new
schools, curriculum

improvement, pupil safety,
athletics or innovative programs.

But there was also another
quality to this man. His devotion
to his country, the love of his
City, his pride in his Irish
Catholic heritage, his love of
family and friends, and his
sensitivity to the problems of
others were well known.

He served his office with dignity,
respect and honor. His only
reward after 40 years of service
was the inner assurance of
knowing his voice on
educational matters promoted a
benchmark of excellence.

Headmaster

By sowing a seed once, you will harvest it once
By planting a tree, you will harvest tenfold.

By educating the people, you will harvest one
hundred-fold.

These words taken from
Kuan-tzu, 4th to 3rd century B.C.
China, are as appropriate now as
they were then. The results of
the efforts which we, the
teachers, together with you, the
students, have made for the past
12 to 13 years cannot be fully
predicted now nor ever be finally
listed. Wonderful, exciting and
awesome opportunities and
challenges lie before you. Your

record as a graduating class
gives us high expectations for
your future. We are confident
that your formal education up to
this point has provided you with
the foundation for success. That
foundation mixed with curiosity,
interest, commitment and good
productive effort will provide you
with a bountiful harvest in life.

We wish you well!

Memoriam

Dr. Eugene N. Wood
Dean of Students

The death of Dr. Eugene Wood
on March 22, 1 983 is one of
truly tragic proportion for his
family and the students at Lowell
High School. It also should be
noted as a great loss to our
community and to the families
whom he served so effectively.

To work with Gene was a
measure of professional pride for
many of us. It was his absolute
dedication to the most needful
of our young people that gave
his colleagues our greatest
cause for respect.

We have been fortunate to have
had such a person work with us
for the past 27 years. That his
boundless energies are now still
does not seem fair. In our grief,
we must bow and give thanks

that they were available to us for
such a long period of time.

We, Gene’s friends and students
at Lowell High School, are
wealthy beyond measure for
having shared our lives with him.
He contributed a great deal to
the student activities at the High
School. Gene was a very
dynamic and outgoing person
who always placed his
relationship with the student
body first among his many
achievements.

We ask that, Gene wherever he
may be, may know that those
who worked with him, loved and
respected him for the person he
was and for the exceptional
quality of his professional
performance.

Joseph M. Regan
Dean of Faculty

In October, 1982 through the
death of the Dean of Faculty,
Joseph M. Regan, Lowell High
School lost a dedicated worker
and a truly wonderful gentleman.
Joseph Regan was an alumnus
of Lowell High School, a
graduate of Boston College, and
a former officer of the United
States Navy in World War 11.

Shortly after his military service
he taught first at Keith Academy
and then at Lowell High School
as a math instructor before he
was appointed as a submaster.

In 1967 Joseph Regan was
elected by the Lowell School
Committee as the Dean of
Faculty at Lowell High School, a .

post at which he served with
distinction until his death.

His colleagues found him to be
a man of gentle spirit: he
administered his duties with
compassion and understanding.
He was methodical, thorough
and meticulous in carrying out
his tasks. He served as a positive
model for faculty and students
alike.

Joseph M. Regan was indeed a
devoted husband, a loving father,
a dedicated worker and a good
friend.

May his memory be eternal!

Times change and sometimes
people do too (even teachers).
Some of our faculty members
have aged gracefully, and some
haven’t aged at all. We have
included a few pictures from our
yearbook files to illustrate this
point and for you to have some
fun with. See if you can figure
out who the teachers are. The

answers are on page 96.

Cookin’ at The Courtyard

Chef Drummey and Mrs. Eileen
Kane have completed their
second successful year of the
Culinary Arts Program. The class
is limited to Juniors and Seniors
only, and worth 1 8 credits. The
students are expected to attend
the class four periods a day,
three of which are shop (kitchen
work), and one in the classroom.

The students are taught almost

White, dining at The Courtyard.

every possible job concerned
with the restaurant business
which ranges from washing
dishes to financing a restaurant.

This year saw the grand opening
of the Culinary Arts restaurant,
“The Courtyard,’’ which is open
to faculty members once a week.

Chef Drummey promises a
full-time schedule by September.

Row 1. Chef Steven Nalen, Chef John Drummey, Eileen Kane, Lorraine Cronin, Theresa Adams, Pauline Cryan, Cindy
LaDuke, Tracie Hone, Debbie Webb, Pam Lavoie; Row 2 : Lisa Dorval, Mark White, Maria Desmond, Diane Cook, Jim
Foley, Laval Blanchette; Row 3; Bobby Orr, Laura Kelley, Dawn Harnden, Arline Boutin, Patty Kangas, John McGrade,
John Dungan, Leo Mello, Rui Machado, John Myers, Lou Comtois.

The students of the Culinary Arts
Program seem to like it very
much. “They enjoy the freedom
of not being in a classroom all
day,” says Chef Steve Nalen.
Senior Steve Hancock, a
member of the Culinary Arts
class, is going on to Johnson &
Wales Culinary Arts College this
September to further his talents.
Steve is presently employed as a
cook at the Windsor Mills in
Dracut. This is just one example
of the success of the program.

memories are of the Toga Party
that was held in the school cafe.
Another memorable occasion
was Mrs. Kane’s cookout. “The
most fun time of the year is at
the end when Chef Drummey
gives out the class awards.
They’re pretty funny,” says Jim
(Boley) Foley.

The students seem to enjoy the
class, as do the teachers, and all
expect the program to enjoy
success in future years.

Band and Twirlers — A “Concert”ed Effort

Led by Drum Major Kathieann
Thurston, the LHS Band
performed at many events such
as football games, assemblies,
and parades. The Annual
Concert was held in April.
Patricia Annis received the Arion
Award for greatest achievement

in music.

To wrap up the year, the band
played at area graduations and
took a trip to the beach. The last
event for the school year was on
June 18 when they headed to
Hyannis for competition.

The Majorettes performed with
the band during all football
games this season. They
marched in five parades and
attended a competition in March.

They closed the year with a
performance at the Annual Band

Concert.

Searching for “Fame”

The Lowell High Choral Arts
Dept, had a very busy ’82-83
school year. Beginning their
season was “Harmonies of
Harvest Time,’’ a musical —
variety show. The band began
the evening with their 30’s and
40’s “Big Band” sound. The
Special Chorus took the stage to
perform various upbeat tunes.
Also included in “Harmonies”
were talented individual singers
and dancers performing such
hits as “Fame,” “Another One
Bites the Dust,” and “Cabaret.”

The Christmas season was quite
busy with trips to local junior
highs and the Kiwanis Club, all
of which culminated in a joyful
Holiday Concert.

Chorus year. This year they
performed “Finian’s Rainbow” to
an appreciative audience.

Finishing off the year, the
Chorus sang at the Memorial
Day assembly, the Lowell Choral
Festival, and graduation, where
the class ode was sung by the
graduating seniors.

Beginning in February were
rehearsals for the spring musical,
always the highlight of the

Memories of the year: December
— working hard, but no school;
the Christmas party for the little
children — Addie made a great
Santa, but the elves?

There were many “important”
DECA meetings during the year,
but perhaps the favorite was the
St. Patrick Moorehouse Day one.

The hard work under the
guidance of Dr. Moorehouse and
Mr. Pizzano paid off at the
competitions. Robin Bellefeuille,
Steve Ford, Sandra Hand, Chris
Morin, Brenda Page, Mary Rivard,
and Robin Shrigley were all
winners at the Districts.

They continued on to compete
at the State Career
Development Conference in
Worcester. Brenda, Sandra,

Mary, Chris, and Steve received
Achievement Awards. Mary also
took home a second place
medal.

Diane St. Marie placed second in
a written event, and Rosalie
Peach and Brenda Page took
first place in the Phillips 66 Free
Enterprise event. Once again,
Lowell High DECA brought
home the first place trophy for
Program Advertising.

Three Lowell students were
elected Mass. DECA State
officers: Cyndi Varney — State
SecATreas., Adelino Caires —
District 5 Sec/Treas., and Joanne
Grenon — District 5
Chairperson.

Outstanding senior was Mary
Rivard, and Cyndi Varney was
the outstanding junior. The 1983
DECA scholarship was awarded
to Sandra Hand.

A trip to the Nationals in New

Cadets Soar Through

Good Year

The Massachusetts 771st
AFJROTC unit completed its
sixth year at Lowell High School.
Being an Air Force Junior ROTC
cadet is not all work. The cadets
organized their annual military
ball, awards banquet, and took
part in activities such as parades
and athletic events.

The cadets also participated in a
variety of activities and field trips
to local military installations and
civil aviation facilities. Several
cadets flew monthly refueling
missions with the GS Air Force
over the eastern region of the

GS.

The cadet drill teams continually
placed in the top three positions
at drill meets in competition with
JROTC units from throughout
the New England area. The
cadet basketball team went
undefeated against other JROTC
teams from the local area.

The cadets were also invited
guests at dances and military
balls sponsored by other units in
Massachusetts.

Melting Pot at LHS

The International Language
Club, the largest club at Lowell
High School, had over two
hundred members this year. Led
by officers Tim Sweeney (Pres.),
Gerry Chertavian (VP), Amy Woo
(Sec.), and Katie Flynn (Treas.),
the club had a very successful

year.

1LC, now in its third year,
combines what used to be the
individual French, Spanish, Latin,
Greek and Portuguese clubs into
one coalition. It has become a
tradition to begin the year with
the Christmas dinner, a festivity
enjoyed by all of the club’s
members. Then, throughout the

year, each language chapter
hosts a presentation which is
both educational and enjoyable.

For example, the Spanish
Chapter invited a guest speaker
who attempted to teach the
guests five different languages
simultaneously! After the
demonstration was finished,
there was plenty of Spanish and
Mexican food for all.

To wrap up a great year, the 1LC
joined the Science Club in
hosting a cookout for all
members. This too may become
a tradition in future years, as the
club is sure to expand and
improve.

The National Honor Society was
established in the 1920’s to
recognize high school students
of outstanding scholastic ability
who also met the criteria of
character, leadership, and
service. The LHS chapter of NHS
received its charter in 1927, and
so has been honoring excellence
in its students for 56 years.

The annual Induction Ceremony
was held this year on Tuesday
evening, May 10, before an
audience of family, faculty and
friends. NHS members received
both recognition and
commendation. A social hour
followed in the cafeteria, and
refreshments were served to the
large audience attending.

JCL throws TOGA Party

The Junior Classical League
once again enjoyed a successful
year at Lowell High. Under the
guidance of Mrs. Grace Scanlan
and the leadership of President
Ben Woo, Vice President Ann ■
Machado, Treasurer Pat McCall,
and Secretary Cathi Cote, the
chapter of 130 members
participated in such events as
Classics Day at Brandeis
University, the National Latin
Exam, and the annual Saturnalia
Dinner. Many members also
traveled to Minnechaug Regional
High School in Wilbraham for

the JCL State Convention. Lowell
placed high in many academic
and athletic events, ending up
with the third highest point total

on the day. Sophomore Ed
Fleming was elected to the Vice
Presidency of the Massachusetts

Officers Active

The 1983 Lowell High School
Girl Officers had a very active
and successful year. Led by
Major Laura Guptill and Lt. Major
Kathy White, the girls
represented LHS at several
events, and sponsored many of
their own. The annual Harvest
Ball was held on November 1 9
at the Sheraton Rolling Green.
With music by Double Vision,
the night was a great success.

The Girl Officers assisted the
Friends of Lowell High with such
projects as Parent’s Night and
the Christmas Circus Show.
They also assisted the Lowell
Sun with the city spelling bee
and the Tour de Lowell Bike
Race. They participated in both
the Memorial Day Parade and
the Lowell Plan Spring Festival,

where they performed mass,
club, and sword drills.

The Girl Officers closed out the
year with their annual banquet
and Candlelight Ceremony. At

in Community

the banquet the girls were
inducted into the Girl Officers’
Alumnae. The Candlelight
Ceremony honored the 1983-84
officers, who will carry on the
Girl Officer tradition at LHS.

Library

The library internship trains
students in many skills. Interns
must monitor the circulation
desk, write and deliver over-due
book notices, keep books in
their proper sections, and help
students locate books and
reference material.

This course is designed to
provide an insight into the
academic benefits of Library
Science, but it also offers some
surprises. A couple of animals
visited the library this year — a
dog, who left a little something
behind as a thank you, and a
sophomore boy’s pet mouse.
Neither seemed appreciative of
the interns’ hard work.

Personnel

To the members of Personnel,
Who always met their deadline;
Making endless mumbers of
copies,

And delivering them on time.

From Word Processor to Printer,
No complaints to mention;

This never ending task
Receiving little recognition.

When it’s all done and over,

And we’ve gone our separate
ways,

We’ll look back and wonder
Why we wasted all those days.

The Presses Roll at LHS

After a year’s absence, the
Lowell High student newspaper,
the Review, was back. Under the
direction of advisor Ms. Jan
Hylen, the staff produced five

issues.

The extremely qualified (?)
writing staff was faced
throughout the year with the
usual deadlines, badly written
headlines, missing articles,
misspelled names, and of
course, Ms. Hylen’s moods.

This was also the year that
Ronnie Frechette organized a

“branch” of the Review —
announcements on the PA
system once a week in the
morning. More than just the
usual reminders to students,
these announcements also gave
the results of sports events and
other things of interest. They
were casual in tone, and helped
to enliven the routine PA notices.

Remember: Bill and Maura as
editors . . . the deadlines . . .
those fun layout sessions . . . the
great proofreading . . . Snuka
. . . Dan’s cartoons ... Dr.
Know-It-All ... the final deadline

. . . where are the sports
articles? ... Jim Durkin,
sophomore . . . the very final
deadline . . . the dwindling staff
. . . Bill’s late-night runs to the
printer’s . . . concerts, concerts,
and more concerts . . . the “last
chance” deadline . . . journalism
workshops . . . the very, very,
very, last deadline!! ... all those
things that made working on the
Review fun. (FUN?)

LHS Democracy in Action

Student Government elections
were held in September resulting
in Brian “Red” Murphy as
president, Diane Harrington as
vice-president, Maura Dartley as
secretary, and Michael Sullivan
as treasurer.

Meetings were held every two
weeks and various speakers were
invited. In October, with the help
of the Culinary Arts class, the
Student Government sponsored
its annual Spaghetti Dinner in
appreciation of the teachers.

With Mrs. Droney as advisor,
they also sponsored two blood
banks, spirit days, and a
decorating day near Christmas
when each class had a hall to
“deck” with Christmas scenes,
crepe paper, holly, mistletoe, and
Christmas trees.

The end of the year brought a
cookout to show appreciation for
all the hard work of the Friends
of Lowell High.

“SCI & SKI”

Science Club

The Lowell High School Science
Club had a very busy year,
taking many field trips and
participating in many events.
Earlier in the year the members
of the Club went to Wang
Laboratories on Pawtucket
Boulevard, where they were
taken on a tour of the building.

In March the First Annual LHS
Science Fair was held in the
Science Labs. Mark Pearsall and
Louis Maggio took home first
place while Beth Welch and Amy
Annaldo took second and third.
The club also participated in the
State Science Fair at
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology on April 30, 1983.
The year was closed with a trip
to the Museum of Science and a
cookout. All involved learned that
Science CAN be fun.

Ski Club

The highlight of the 1983 Lowell
High School Ski Club was the
infamous trip to Lake Placid,
New York. The fourteen
members who dared to
challenge the slopes spent five
nights at The Lake Placid Resort,
with four full days of skiing. The
skiers enjoyed the slopes of
Gore and Whiteface Mountains,
the site of the 1976 Olympics.

In addition to skiing, many
activities were scheduled, such
as snowmobiling and parasailing,
as well as dances in the Resort’s
own disco to fill the evenings.
The trip was very successful, and
the many memories of Placid
’83 will remain for a long time,
with those who participated.

Striking Gold with “Finian’s Rainbow”

On Friday, April 29, the Lowell
High Performing Arts
Department, under the direction
of B. Douglas Townshend and
Michael L. Sokolowski,
performed the Harburg and Lane
musical “Finian’s Rainbow.”

“Looking to the Rainbow” were
Joseph Moore as Finian
McLonergan, Maria Harvey as his
daughter Sharon, and Patrick
Gagnon as Woody Mahoney.
Robert Orr was lively as Og, the
mischievous leprechaun, and
dancing the part of mute,
graceful Susan was MaryEllen

LePage.

The musical told of a
transplanted leprechaun and his
pot of gold, hidden in beautiful
Rainbow Valley. A slightly tipsy
Irish immigrant finds it, and the
leprechaun starts to become
mortal. The story was aided by
the spirited dancing of the
“southern belles-turned-lrish
lassies.” Freshman Joseph Ortiz
had the role of Senator Rawkins,
who, through a misdirected wish,

turns black.

Set designers Daniel Bedard and
Fred Gallagher did a wonderful
job on the scenery, as did Lynne
Lombard, the stage manager.

Being in a musical takes a lot of
hard work, patience and
dedication, but when it all
culminates in a success like
“Finian’s Rainbow,” both cast
and audience agree it was well

worth it.

LHS Spirit
Comes on
Strong

Lowell High began a new
tradition this year with “Spirit
Day of the Month.” On the last
Wednesday of each month,
students were urged to show
their style by dressing in
particular themes.

Days such as Hat Day, Sweats
Day and the biggest celebration
of all: a decorating contest at
Christmas, were just a few
demonstrations of LHS spirit. At

Christmas, each class decorated
their respective corridors in the
best way they could. The day
was great fun for everyone!

In March, the annual Spirit Week
was held. Each class chose their
own day and a theme was
depicted for each. They were:

Bandanna and Shades Day,
Sports Day, Hawaiian Day, Tie
Day, and T-shirt/Shorts Day.
Many people participated and
everyone had a great time.

Rolling at the
Sheraton
Green

Each year the Harvest is the
predominant topic of
conversation from the time the
school year begins. This year
was no exception. The halls were
filled with girls asking: “Who are
you gonna ask?” and “did you
get your gown yet?” Meanwhile
boys demanded: “how much will
this cost anyway?”

As the day approached, plans
finally took shape and talk
turned to Pre-Harvest parties.
When November 19th finally
arrived, everyone “found their
way” to the Sheraton Rolling
Green in Andover. After waiting
in what seemed an endless line
for pictures, there was dancing
to the music of Double Vision.

The night was enjoyable, but was

over almost before it seemed to
have started, passing in a “blur”
for many. When the night of
dancing, socializing and
picture-taking was over, everyone
left with memories of a night
that will not soon be forgotten.

The Lowell High Student
Government “planted”
themselves in the thick of things
with the Annual Carnation Days
on Saint Valentine’s Day and
Saint Patrick’s Day.

With the help of many students,
carnations were ready to order a
week before Valentine’s Day for
50£ each. Some went to
“sweethearts,” others just friends.
When the big day came around,
red, pink, and white carnations
were delivered to homerooms.
The recipient paid 25£ to find
out who sent the flower.

Bloomin’ Mad!

For Saint Patrick’s Day, cards
and envelopes were filled out the
week before, and delivered on
the 17th with green carnations.

It’s not all as easy as it sounds.

All together the students sold
almost 2500 carnations. That’s
nothing to sneeze at! Of course,
without Mrs. Droney and the
Student Council, none of this
would have been possible. The
whole “bloomin’ mad” bunch
did a great job.

. . . and balloons
filled the air.

Homecoming ’82 was one never
to be forgotten. Homecoming
Queen Kristin Achin ruled over
the evening with her court of
Cheryl Hamilton, Amy Lekites
and Carol Tremblay.

The evening began with a
parade from Lowell High to
Cawley Stadium. The parade was
made up of the Royal
Convertible, an antique car and
two dozen cars full of carousing
Homecomers. Balloons filled the
cool Autumn air, tied to every
available hand, along with
pom-poms and banners waving
in the October breeze.

The game was kicked off and
played in what has become the
typical rough and tumble LHS
style. “It was a great team effort,”
commented Head Coach Walter
Melson, citing tenacious defense
as the difference in the Raiders’

16-0 victory over arch rival
Chelmsford. Highlighting the win
for Lowell were a fumble
recovery by Kevin Slattery on the
Lions’ three, a Shaun Santos
interception, and the fourth
quarter “Tighe to Smith”
connection for a 22-yard
touchdown.

Pre-game ceremonies consisted
of the presentation of awards to
Senior players and their parents,
by Headmaster Peter Stamas. At
halftime, Kristin Achin and her
court were escorted by ROTC
cadets to their coronation at
mid-field.

Homecoming, 1982 saw the Red
Raiders at a 5-0 mark, and off to
one of their finest starts ever.

Hawg Wild Again!

After losing many of the “hawgs”
(the offensive line) to graduation,
it was wondered if Lowell High
could do it again. Well, that
wonder turned into positive
thinking by the first week of
October.

The Red Raiders had a great
season in the MVC, with a mark
of 8-2 and a share of second
place in the final standings. The
success was summed up by
many as a great team effort, with
both offense and defense (the
“Lynch Mob”) contributing to
each win. The defensive squad
was exceptional, allowing only 39
points in the ten game season.

There were many outstanding

individual performances as well.
Defensive Standout John Galvin
was named team MVP, while the
Coach’s Award went to
Quarterback Dan Tighe. Louie
Galvao received Most Improved
Player Award and Shaun Santos,
The James Liston Award for
outstanding defensive play.
Other award recipients were,
George Dokos (Janas Award),
and Captain Kevin Slattery
(Riddick Memorial Trophy). Chris
Smith, Mike Nison, James
Cooper, Jim Keefe, and Walter
Wrobel all won awards for their
outstanding efforts in the
Thanksgiving blow out of
Lawrence.

Raiders Go Out
in Style!

138

It was perfect football weather.
The sky was blue, the air was
crisp, and boy, was it COLD!
Thanksgiving ’82 was played as
though it were the days of Ray
Riddick once again.

Over 8000 spirited fans braved
the cold to support the players in
the 86th edition of the ancient
Turkeyday Classic. Support was
strong with rousing cheers and
banners waving. Signs along the
highway and a scarecrow in a
Lawrence uniform hanging from
McDonald’s showed the boys
everyone was out there for
them . . .

LHS captured its finest football
season in twelve years by
destroying the Lancers 36-0. The
“Lynch Mob” held Lawrence to
only 96 total yards, and forced
five turnovers. Revenge of the
big loss last year, was assured by
the running performances of Jim
Cooper and Wally Wrobel, who
combined for 240 yards rushing.
John Galvin’s interception and
Quarterback Dan Tighe’s
18-yard “bootleg” tally also
highlighted Lowell’s romp over
Lawrence.

The win was a great end to an
awesome season, as the Red
Raiders went out in style . . .

The Lowell High School Soccer
Team finished the 1982 season
with a respectable 8-7-3 record.
The Red Raiders finished fourth
in the tough Merrimack Valley
Conference under the fine
coaching of John Bertos.

After an impressive start, the
squad was unfortunately plagued
by both injuries and much
controversy. Nevertheless, the
soccer team had many
outstanding games under the
leadership of Captains Albino
Espinola, Rui Machado, Dionisio
Gil, and Martin Hernandez.

Albino’s final year was nothing
short of spectacular. Not only

Soc it to ’em

was he an MVC All-Star and
Lowell Sun All-Star, but he also
led the conference in both
goals and total points. Halfback
Martin Hernandez, forward
Sergio Coehlo, and fullback Rui
Machado were also honored as
both MVC and Lowell Sun
All-Stars.

At the Fall Sports Banquet,
Espinola was named Most
Valuable Player, while fullback
Dionisio Gil received the Coach’s
Award, and goalkeeper Chris
Porter, who posted six shutouts
on the season, was presented
with the Most Improved Player

Award.

Girls Race to Best

The 1982 Girls’ Cross Country
Track Team completed its most
successful season in the history
of Lowell High School. A credit
to Coach Jim McGuirk, his girls
finished the season with a super
7-1 record. They finished fourth
in the State Meet and Third in
the Bedford Invitational.

Several outstanding individual
efforts highlighted the success of
the team. Senior Tri-Captains
Laura Balamotis, Lisa Jacques,
and Shelly Mondou all turned in
fine performances on the
season, and all placed high in
the State Meet.

Season Ever

Freshman Carol Tremblay was
the big surprise, consistently
finishing third for the Raiders.
Along with Carol, freshman Keri
Regan turned in a fine season.
Both girls placed well in the
State Meet.

Boys CC Paces MVC

With Senior Bob Powers leading
the way, the Lowell High Boys’
Cross Country track team sped
toward a more than satisfying
record of 6 wins and 3 losses.
Through inclement weather and
such, our long distance runners
gave their all in a winning effort.
Bob showed the MVC what he
was made of by making the
MVC All-Star team, winning
Lowell High’s Most Valuable
Runner award, and by finishing

eighth in the Mass State
Tourney.

Other seniors Paul McCarthy
and Steve Limperis also had
successful seasons for Coach
John Lang. Dave Landry, Matt
Kenney, and Chris Dougherty (all
juniors), ran with consistency as
did the entire team. Sophomore
Luis Rios showed much potential
this season.

Big Splash

Girls Make

The LHS Girls Swim Team
completed its first “real” season
with an impressive record of 6-3.
All the girls had outstanding
performances, but it would not
have been possible without
Coach Roseanne Riddick’s “fun”
practices, time spent in the
weightroom and the enthusiasm,
spirit, and determination of each
and every one of the girls.

A few of the girls represented
Lowell at the Sectional Meet.
Among them were Co-captain

Gail Reynolds, Sara Burns, Julie
Burns, Cathi Cote, Lisa Kunzler,
Tara Donahue, and diver Kelly

Flynn.

A select few from this group
qualified to participate in the
State Meet. These girls should
be given credit for swimming on
the night of the Harvest.

Awards presented at the end of
the season were: Coach’s Award
— Co-captain Gail Reynolds,
MVP — Cathi Cote, Most
Improved — Lisa Kazanjian.
Other girls earned their varsity

letters.

Bump, Set, Spike

Coach Suzanne Olsen’s 1983
Volleyball squad went through a
rebuilding process this season,
having lost nine varsity players
from last year’s team through
graduation. Although their record
didn’t indicate it, the team
steadily improved throughout the
season, and could surprise the
MVC next season.

Some of the Raiders’ high points
were a victory over Andover, a
close game with a tough
Billerica team, and outstanding
efforts against both Methuen and

Wilmington.

At the Fall Sports Banquet,
junior spiker Shirley Souza was
honored as the team’s Most
Valuable Player. Senior Captain
Janet Bisson received the
Coach’s Award, and junior setter
Anne Marie Hickey was the Most
Improved Player.

There will only be two seniors
lost to graduation this year: Pam
Morin and Captain Janet Bisson.
Coach Olsen holds high hopes
for upcoming years.

The Raiders skated to a 5-4-1
overall record this season. The
team had quite a few
breathtaking games, including
those against Dracut and
Tewksbury.

The icemen were led by senior
captains Kenny Silva and Dave
Desmond, alternate captains
Laval Blanchette and Phil Perrin.
The leading scorer for Coach
Robinson was sophomore Jay

Freitas.

The 1982-83 season was goalie
Ken Silva’s year as he was
named to the Lowell Sun’s
All-Star hockey team, received
the MVP All-Star, and Abraham
awards. Defensemen Dave

Sn Search of a Perfect “10”

The 1982-83 season proved to
be a very successful one for the
Girls Gymnastics Team. The
girls ended up with an 11-2
record overall, with a 5-1 mark
in MVC action, which was good
enough for second place.

Senior Co-captains Kathieann
Thurston and Claire Royer were
valuable assets to the team, as
were seniors Donna Cahill and
Barbara McLaughlin. Their talent,
combined with experience and
perseverance contributed greatly

to the team’s success.

The lone setback for the Raiders
came when Royer was sidelined
with an injury. Yet her
teammates worked even harder,
and the team really pulled
together, qualifying for the
Sectional Meet.

Award winners for the team
were: Claire Royer (MVP);
Kathieann Thurston (Coach’s
Award), and Leo Scott (Most

The Boys Indoor Track Team
finished out a fine season with a
5-3 record and placed third in
the Merrimack Valley Conference
Meet behind Methuen and
Chelmsford. The team had a lot
of depth and young talent,
especially in the middle
distances. In the 300 yard dash
junior Chris Savard and
freshman Elijah Doby were
standouts, as were junior Dan
Sullivan and sophomore Bob
Ogden in the 600. Senior and
four year varsity standout Paul
McCarthy and Senior Shaun
Santos paced the way in the
1000 yard run.

The Raiders also found success

in the 50 yard dash with Seniors
Dave Murphy, Roberto Baez and
Wally Milinazzo. Baez and
Milinazzo were also devasting in
the shotput. Sophomore Oscar
Gutierrez was joined by seniors
Steve Limperis and Dave Blazon
carrying the team in the high
jump and high hurdles. Senior
Co-Captain Bob Powers once
again paced the team in the mile
and 2 mile runs, with a personal
record of 9.46 in the deuce.

Outside dual meet competition,
Lowell once again did a
commendable job. Savard was
the MVC champ and sixth in the
state with a 33.4 clocking.

Best in MVC

The 1982-83 Girls Indoor Track
Team finished the year with the
MVC Championship under its
wing. Thanks to the guidance
of coaches Jim McGuirk and
Walter Nelson, the girls finished
up the season with only one

loss.

Much of the credit was given to
Senior Captains Gail Reynolds,
Shelly Mondou, Lisa Jacques
and Laura Balamotis. Other
seniors Sheila Brown, Janet
Bisson, Diane Harrington and
Chris Conlon also helped the
Lowell cause.

Team accomplishments this year
were also outstanding. The
Raiders won the MVC
Championship Meet, placed fifth
in the Methuen Invitational, fifth
in the State Relays, and took
ninth in the State Meet. Also this
season, many school and
personal records were broken,
and new marks set.

Receiving awards at this year’s
banquet were, Amy Lekites (Most
Improved), Janet Bisson
(Coach’s Award), and Gail
Reynolds (MVP). Reynolds and
Bisson were also named to the
Sun All Star Team.

Grapplers Rebuild

The LHS 1982-83 Wrestling
team competed in 15 dual
meets, in which they compiled a
9-6 record in meets overall.
Although the season was not as
spectacular as past seasons the
Red and Gray matmen turned
out the “Fantastic Five” who
consisted of sophomore Scott
Taylor (100 lbs.), senior Tim
Golden (107 lbs.), senior Dan
Shanley (114 lbs.), and senior
Captains Pat Ryan (128 lbs.) and
Pat Coughlin (134 lbs.).

At the Lowell Holiday
Tournament, the Raiders placed
8th as a team. Individually,

Shanley, Coughlin and Tom
Mayrand (148) took seconds,
while Ryan, Taylor and Mike
Siopes (143) all took fourths.

In the sectionals, Taylor, Golden,
Shanley and Coughlin all placed
second, with Ryan earning a
third place finish. All five
qualified for the State
Tournament, where Golden and
Coughlin were runners-up, with
Ryan and Shanley taking thirds,
and Taylor fourth. With their fine
showings, Golden and Coughlin
earned spots in the New
England’s. Coughlin placed third
and Golden fourth.

WtRBm

At the Winter Awards Banquet,
individual awards went to Tim
Golden (MVP), Capt. Pat Ryan
(Coach’s Award), and Capt. Pat
Coughlin (Most Improved).

Although the grapplers didn’t
have the outstanding year that
we’ve been accustomed to,
Raider fans can be proud of the
fine effort and success that
came from the team this year. It
was a rebuilding year, and
Coach George Bossi has high
hopes for the team in upcoming
years, with many young
prospects and returning talent.

Boys Off the Block

The Lowell High Boys Swim
Team made a big splash in this,
its debut season in the MVC.
Under the direction of Coach
Kevin Noa, the Raiders finished
up with a 5-1 record. This was
good enough for a second place
finish in the tough MVC, as LHS
was beaten only by the
undefeated Chelmsford squad.
The Raiders also placed second
in the MVC Conference Meet,
again second to the Lions.

Raider standout Brian Gauthier
qualified for the State Meet, while

LHS sent a relay team to the
Sectionals. Award winners this
year were Co-captain Brian
Gauthier — Most Valuable
Swimmer, Co-captain Tim
Sweeney — Coach’s Award, and
Wilfredo Rosado — Most

A heavily muscled and slightly
overweight group of alumni
upset this year’s state
tournament varsity basketball
team (17-5) 58-51, before an
overflow crowd of 1 ,500 fans in
the LHS fieldhouse.

In earlier games, a valiant but
poorly conditioned faculty team
fell victim to the passage of time
and the swiftness of youth as
they were overrun by the MVC
JV champs (19-0), 42-32, while
the freshmen squeezed by a
determined junior high all-star

Six Close Shaves Mean .500 Season

The 1983 Lowell High Baseball
Team had a somewhat
disappointing season this spring,
yet there were some positive
results. Captains Ken Gys and
Dave Murphy led the Raiders
through a rocky season,
dropping six one-run games, to

finish with a 9-9 record. The loss
of Pat McNamara (injured) for
the entire season greatly hurt the

pitching staff.

The Raiders produced some
great personal efforts such as
Wally Milinazzo’s success at the

plate and Pat Maguire’s pitching.
Wally led the team in batting
with a .333 mark, as well as
leading the Raiders in runs and
hits. Pat pitched brilliantly,
finishing up with a 5-2 record
and a 1 .80 ERA. The
performance of Lowell’s
underclassmen, Pat Maguire,
Bob Swan, Tom Broderick, and
Chris Riley, was encouraging and
something to look forward to in
1984. Senior Ken Machado had
a good season also, pitching his
way to a 2.60 ERA.

At the Awards Banquet three
Coach’s Awards were given to
Wally Milinazzo (batting), Pat
Maguire (pitching), and Bob
Swan for leading the squad with

19 RBI’s.

Girls “

The Lowell High Girls Tennis
Team completed its most
successful season in 1983 by
winning 15 and losing only
three. They finished second in
the MVC and qualified for the first
time for the State Team
Championships. Although losing
in the first round to
Dover-Sherborn (3-2), the
Raiders will have a good shot
next season, as five letter
winners will be returning.

Senior Co-captains Diane
Harrington and Kathleen Boyle
will be sorely missed as they had
been the mainstays for the past
four years. However, Lowell is
fortunate in being able to return
its number one, Amy Woo, and

Love 15” Wins

number two, Kelly Flynn, as well
as the outstanding doubles
tandem of junior Carrie Powers
and freshman Reven Oliver. The
other returning starter is Sandi
Petullo, who was a league
all-star.

The awards banquet saw the
Most Improved Player Award go
to Carrie Powers who moved up
from the JV’s to become a
starter. The Coach’s Award went
to Co-captain Diane Harrington
for four years of dedicated play.
The final award — the MVP
Award — went to Co-captain
Kathy Boyle and Sandi Petullo,
who were voted the outstanding
doubles team in the MVC.

The 1 983 Edition of the Lowell
High Boys Tennis Team volleyed
their way to a fine season. Each
player did a great job, producing
personal and team success, and
a 12-7 overall record. Gerry
Chertavian was spectacular
playing No. 1 singles. Fat McCall,
Peter Kokas and Jimmy O’Brien
also shined in the singles’ court.

The doubles combinations of
Robillard/Violette and Woo, and
O’Brien/Panessiti also played
well, contributing substantially to
the team’s success.

Bob Violette was a pleasant
surprise for Coach Charlie
Shadan, as his game improved
on all levels. Bob received the
Most Improved Award for his fine
effort. The Most Valuable Flayer

A Dreary Record for a
Dismal Season

The fate of the ’83 Boys
Outdoor Track season was
reflected in the weather this
spring. The boys sloshed
through dismal weather to a
dreary 2-6 overall record.

Captain Paul McCarthy reached
his peak in the 880 yard run,
stopping the clock at* 1 :56.

Junior Chris Savard tied the
record in the 1 00 yard dash with
a time of 10.2 seconds. Senior
Bob Powers was also
outstanding, reaching his
personal best with a 9:46
clocking in the two mile.

Yet despite limited success on
the team level, several personal
bests were achieved this spring.

Other varsity letter winners this
year were: Matt Kenney, Dave
Sullivan, Steve Limperis, Bob
Ogden, Roberto Baez, and Dan
Sullivan. Awards went to Paul
McCarthy (MVP), Steve Limperis
(Most Improved), and Bob
Powers (Coach’s Award).

They Worth It?

Sports — Are

Participating in sports at the high
school level is not as easy as it
seems. Practices, meets, and
games cut into the student
athlete’s social life, and it is
practically impossible to hold
down a job at the same time.
Some coaches put their athletes
on strict weight and excercise
programs which critics say can
be too strict. Students < .in also
be subjected to pressures and
the agony of defeat.

However, there are benefits to be
obtained from participation in
sports. Discipline, team work,
friends, fun, the thrill of victory,
and the feeling of
accomplishment are all to be
listed on the positive side. Sports
can be a healthy part of high
school education, and an outlet
from classroom pressures.

Sports — are they worth all the
blood, sweat, and tears?

“ONWARD WE GO"

As we think back now on our high school years
Our eyes need not brim with tears
’Cause when we remember our friends and our past
We have to be glad that our memories will last.

Now we are on our way

Following separate paths

What has tomorrow in store for us all?

Will our dreams come true?

Now we are on our way
Following separate paths
Hoping, planning and striving
Onward we go.

As we look forward to what lies ahead
The future looks vast and bright
Though we seem to differ in myriad ways
We all have a goal and we aim to succeed.
